I read this differently - when you have

   (let ((var 'val))
    (make-variable-buffer-local 'var))

it will not set buffer-local value to 'val.
You have to set the buffer value explicitly via set/setq outside let
context.

And the patch makes `case-fold-search' buffer-local internally. Nothing
needs to call (make-variable-buffer-local 'case-fold-search).
